Project Overview

Toast Interactive, based in Queensland, Australia, was founded in 2016 and is most known for the international bestseller, Richie’s Plank Experience. Their most recent project, Max Mustard, is a virtual reality 3D platforming adventure. In April 2024, Toast Interactive contacted Starfall PR for overall account support. Throughout the year, Starfall PR secured placements for Max Mustard in several Tier 1 media outlets, arranged interviews with the team in Australian press, and earned the title a Metacritic score. We executed two successful launch campaigns across PlayStation and Steam VR and placed valuable content with influencers and press.
